Yes, the game was Tyranny and the books were the Black Company. The books are significantly better than the game.
Croaker = Lantry.
Soulcatcher = Voices of Nerat.
The Taken = The Archons.
The Lady = Kyros.

In the first 2 books the black company basically helps the Lady take control of the entire continent they are on. At the end of the 2nd book they turn on her, similar to how the fatebinder in this story suddenly turns on Kyros.


There are plenty of other parallels as well, the only difference is that in the novels the story was actually good and made sense.

Soulcatcher is one of my favorite all-time villains. I especially like how when Soulcatcher speaks, the voice changes to the different souls that have been taken before, and then Soulcatcher will suddenly laugh with from a deep, laughing baritone to an old woman's chuckle and everything in between. So damn creepy.

The audiobook version of the Black Company is one of the only audiobooks I consider worthwhile listening to. They have the person reading soulcatcher do all of her dialogue in different voices. Its actually really well done.

There's a disease going around that causes insomnia...you know, I've never seen anybody sleep.
Oh, boy, another game where the native American stand-ins are incredibly wise.

A dance of intersections to feed the triangle is the key to victory.

This is for one that some have argued is an RPG (but most dexer’s, myself included, would say it’s definitely not and that the people saying it is are tards):

Your sister tries to kill you twice. Or maybe a 1000 times, depending.

I remember that (or part 2) as:
"5 mins in and you are already hopelessly lost in a maze, are about to starve because you already ate all your "iron rations", rescue and aquire a new party member who will rob you blind the next time you rest. Then you say "fuck this shit" and uninstall both." :hahano:
